    A) 1/3200000

    B) 19/20

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Percentage population of graduates = 5

    Proportion of graduates from 100 random samples = percentage * number of samples

    Proportion of graduates = 0.05 * 100 = 5

    Probability of having 5 graduates among the 100 random samples:

    P (1 graduate) = possible outcome / total required outcome

    P (1 graduate) = (5 / 100) = 1/20

    P (5 graduates) = (1/20) ^5

    P (5 graduates) = 1/3200000

    Probability of never being a graduate = (1 - probability of being a graduate)

    Probability of never being a graduate = (1 - (1/20)) = 19/20
